EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 22 from the Tauromaquia: Manly courage of the celebrated Pajuelera in [the ring] captures a moment of intense danger and bravery within the world of bullfighting. This black and white etching, created by Francisco Goya in 1816, showcases the renowned female bullfighter Nicolasa Escamilla, also known as La Pajuelera. In this image, we witness La Pajuelera fearlessly confronting a powerful bull within the grand arena at Saragossa. With her lance held firmly in hand and her horse poised for action, she embodies both strength and grace. The intensity is palpable as she prepares to spear the charging beast with unwavering determination. Goya's masterful depiction not only highlights the physical prowess required for such a dangerous occupation but also raises questions about animal cruelty and blood sports prevalent during that era. Through his intricate lines and shading techniques, he invites viewers to contemplate these complex themes while admiring La Pajuelera's undeniable skill. This historic print serves as a testament to Spain's rich cultural heritage and its deep connection to traditional bullfighting. It transports us back to an era where spectacles like these were considered entertainment for many. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork housed within a museum collection like The Met, let us reflect on how our understanding of animal welfare has evolved over time.
